Happy New Year to family and friends, and news from the Fraud Squad...

Dear family and friends,

Happy New Year to all of you.

I am also glad to inform you of the recent news from the Fraud Squad. 

New evidence has emerged in December of Uri and Dror's attorneys' handiwork. By now, I have no doubt, as one who has been an aficionado of court corruption, that nothing like this has ever been documented in the Israeli courts in the entire State's history.


True, in July 2025, the Chair of the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee declared on the record that the Family Courts in Israel are "the black hole of the court system." [1]
True, in 2016, a newspaper report titled "It's a Total Jungle Out There" [2] quoted Tel Aviv University law professor Daphna Hecker, who stated that the Family Courts are no courts at all, causing horrible and scary damage... 
However, the case at hand demonstrates characteristics of organized crime in the courts....
The number of judges involved, the length of time (12 years so far), the number of alleged criminal events, the nature of the criminality (perversion of court processes), etc.

The credit for connecting the Zernik family to elements of organized crime in the Haifa Courts rests entirely with Robert Raffael Zernik. Dror and Uri are just keeping his legacy.
However, now it's the turn of fraudsters of the next generation:

There is really nothing original in it. It is the routine of a fake appointment of Estate Administrators, with the underlying criminal philosophy that when a person has no lawful appointment, he is permitted to defraud and steal. Obviously, it isn't the normative way of thinking, but rather the philosophy of criminals.

What is unique here is, first and foremost, the identity of the chief crook: Rachel Ben-Ari, Dror's attorney. She is a public figure, a 2-term veteran of the Judicial Selection Committee, Legal Counsel for the Technion (she inherited the job from her father), and for Israel's University Head Committee... She is a product of the system. Her grandpa was a Haifa attorney and a member of Knessets 1-5. Her father was a notable Haifa attorney, involved in Labor Party politics. She routinely advertises herself as the third in such succession - "90 years of legal excellence.

And she is a vocal opponent of any judicial reform...

It is a unique blend: an attorney claiming "legal excellence", deeply involved in judicial corruption, and leading a protest against court reform. She was quoted by the media in the following lines to remember her by: 

"We are here in the name of Democracy, because they want to take it away from us, and that is the most dangerous thing... They are taking away our judicial independence in various ways..."

The case is also unique in the participation of graduates of the Reali school in the fraud. Uri, Dror, and their attorneys - Yoav Salomon and Rachle Ben-Ari...

At the end of December 2025, I discovered documents that Ben-Ari and Salomon filed with the Administrator General (the regulator of Estate Administrators), trying to cover up the apparent fraud in the Haifa Family Court...

Perverted Estate Inventory statement

For true fraud fans only:

Ben-Ari and Salomon filed a perverted Estate Inventory statement, which should be deemed forgery. It included a Short-form Judgment ["פסיקתה"] in Appendix 1, as purported evidence of their lawful appointment, but labeled it a Decree in Rem ["צו"]. And then Ben-Ari and Salomon verified the fake Estate Inventory statement by signing a fake, perverted Affidavit, which should also be deemed forgery.

It is unique, since in the entire fake court file, Ben-Ari and Salomon avoided filing any affidavit in disregard of the law. Judge Hila Gurevitz, whom Rachel Ben-Ari promoted to the judgeship, was her partner, and she repeatedly ruled to accept Rachel Ben-Ari's filings, which were missing the affidavits in violation of the law.

The lawful appointment of an Estate Administrator is by a Decree in Rem ("צו") based on Form 10 in the Inheritance Regulations, 1998. It is the only document that is recognized by law as the constitutive record of a lawful appointment of an Estate Administrator.

Such a Decree in Rem is the only record that the banks and the land register's office are permitted to recognize as evidence of the lawful appointment of an Estate Administrator. The Order in Rem is therefore the constitutive document in the appointment of an Estate Administrator.

Once the Decree in Rem is issued, the Office of the Clerk of the Court must serve it on the Office of the Administrator General, which maintains a registry of Estate Administrators and is charged with regulating and supervising them.

In the case of Savta Rivca z"l's Estate, all involved were adamant in their resolve to defraud.

Not only the type of record, but also its content is unlawful. Among other issues, a Short-form Judgment must reflect a prior Judgment or Decision. That is not the case in the Short-form Judgment at hand.
Additionally, while the two attorneys declared on November 4, 2024, that they no longer considered themselves bound by the Estate Distribution Agreement, they wrote themselves compensation of NIS 30,000 + VAT each in the Short-form Judgment. It was the pay they were scheduled to receive for executing the Estate Distribution Agreement... which they now undermined. It is not the way court-appointed Estate Administrators are paid.

Image | Head of Page 1 of the Estate Inventory statement filed by Adv. Rachel Ben-Ari and Adv. Yoav Salomon in the office of the Administrator General on 28.1.2025, and recorded on 30.1.2025: "We, Rachel Ben-Ari, Esq ... Yoav Salomon, Esq, names of the Estate Administrators, who serve according to an Order in Rem (binding against all third parties) issued by the Haifa Family Court (Estate File 11650-06-24) on December 1, 2024 (attached as "Appendix 1")..." [bold and underline in the original - jz].

.

Adv. Rachel Ben-Ari and Yoav Salomon  introduced themselves at the top of Page 1 of the Estate Inventory statement as Estate Administrators for the late Rivka Shami Zernik, 

"We, Rachel Ben-Ari, Esq ... Yoav Salomon, Esq, names of the Estate Administrators, who serve according to an Order in Rem (binding against all third parties) issued by the Haifa Family Court (Estate File 11650-06-24) on December 1, 2024 (attached as "Appendix 1")..." [bold and underline in the original - jz].

.

In the "Table of Contents" of the appendices to the Estate Inventory statement, on page 5, Adv. Rachel Ben-Ari and Adv. Yoav Salomon again wrote: 

"Appendix 1 - Order in Rem [binding against all third partie] appointing Estate Administrators."

Yoav Salomon to the offices of the Administrator General on 28.1.2025, and recorded on 30.1.2025: "Table  of Contents,"Appendix 1 - Order in Rem (binding against all third parties) appointing Estate Administrators."

.

However, the document that appears in Appendix 1 to the Estate Inventory statement is not a "Decree in Rem (binding against all third parties) appointing Estate Administrators," but rather a "Short-form Judgment - Appointment of Estate Administrators," dated 1.12.2024. 

In other words, the two advocates substituted the Decree in Rem, which constitutes the lawful appointment of an Estate Administrator, with a "Short-form Judgment" dated December 1, 2024, which is invalid in the absence of the "Decree in Rem."

.

To top it off, the two attorneys also did a job on the affidavit in the Estate Inventory statement:

Attorneys Ben-Ari and Solomon knowingly changed the wording of the affidavit in Form 11 (Rule 38, Estate Details) of the Inheritance Regulations: 
(a) The word "complete" was omitted from the wording of the affidavit ("I hereby declare that the above Estate Inventory statement is complete and reflects the full assets and liabilities of the Estate...");
(b) A disclaimer clause was added regarding the incomplete nature of the Estate Inventory statement.
The fact that the original, mandatory forms were adulterated was neither stated nor marked in the papers submitted to the Administrator General.
.

The authentic text of the Affidavit is shown in Form 11 (Regulation 39) below.  The adulterated Affidavit should be deemed as evidence of impersonation, deceit, forgeryand more.

Stay tuned! 

2026 is shaping up to be a year full of exciting fraud and deceit.
